Oh yes, Heineken Cup semi. Leicester Tigers beat Cardiff Blues 7 - 6 after the game had finished 26 - 26 in normal time, with no further score in 20 minutes extra time. Same number of tries scored.
So just to make it easy, Leicester vs Leinster in the Final. |

Same thing that happened to them in most sports, chucked out of the window due to fixture congestion plus the logistics of organising another neutral venue at short notice. |

IMO if the teams were level at the end of extra time it should have gone back to the points gathered in the group stage. |

If I were them I'd be very upset that for the ninth consecutive year the Challenge Cup final is being held in England. Kingsholm has been picked as a decent sized stadium far enough away from Northampton to be "neutral" IMO.
As far as the date is concerned, delaying it until the end of the French Top 14 season would adversely impact on Northampton, as their season is already finished and they would be going into the final without having played for a month. If it was always going to be on that particular weekend I can't see why it should be moved just to suit Bourguin. |

Burnham said: "England 2015 would be a superb addition to a great decade of sport in Britain.
The RFU has pulled together an outstanding bid that will take the game to new audiences.
It has the government's full support and we will now work with them to make the case for it."

Isn't that just incredibly sickening to hear. The support Union gets from the media and Government is ridiculous and totally undeserved.
But already you know that every ground will be full to the rafters. The sport is superbly run. |

you'd think that the governement would get right behind the rfl's bid to host the next rugby league world cup as well.
questions have already been raised, although im sure they'll be swept under the oxbridge old boys carpet, as to whether it's wise and indeed morally right to bid for a rugby union world cup in the current financial situation. i may be wrong but im pretty sure that the irb demand 80million pounds for hosting the event. |

ARU boss John O'Neill labels cross-code clash daft  ARU boss John O'Neill has ridiculed a proposal to have Australia take on New Zealand in a so-called "Forty40 Footy" clash of rugby union and rugby league as "daft".
The audacious cross-code plan for the Wallabies to tackle the All Blacks for one half and the Kangaroos to play the world champion New Zealand rugby league team for the other 40 minutes is the brainchild of Harvey Lister, head of AEG Ogden.
The venue management guru is reportedly pushing for the two codes to come together for the "Forty40 blockbuster" at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium next year.

The IRB is demanding a guarantee of £80million (AU 163million) for 2015 and £96million (AU 195million) for 2019, while asking the host union to foot the bill for all associated costs.
"The Government is not going to use taxpayers' funds to basically hand the IRB a cheque.
"It doesn't work that way." |
